Re: Here are my ideas to improve politics.
2: Disagree. The point of the whip is that parties can be formed so you know basically what you're voting for. Without the whip, the parties are pointless.
Two words: 'tuition fees' - as good a demonstration as any that manifestos can end up being works of fiction if they contain anything that ends up being inconvenient down the line.
Whips are there to make lives easier for the party leaders, not for any of the individual members and certainly not for the benefit of the voters.
